Since Carter hit his famous homer, the Blue Jays have added another trio of huge three-run homers, one at every stage of the postseason. José Bautista delivered his memorable bat flip blast against Texas in the 2015 AL Division Series, and Edwin Encarnación hit a game-ending homer to beat Baltimore in the 2016 AL Wild Card game.

Barger's electric grand slam in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter helped slam the door on a Los Angeles Dodgers response. It will go down in Blue Jays history, regardless of how this World Series ends up.

It's over. The Blue Jays take Game 1 in lopsided fashion, spurred by the first pinch-hit grand slam in the history of the World Series courtesy of Addison Barger. Blake Snell struggled massively after an all-time postseason run, and now the Dodgers will turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto to tie the series.
